Overview
Award-winning writer Ben Okri, author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The Famished Road, curates this one-volume overview of classic stories of Africa, past and present. The range is remarkable: from the tale of "Teta the Magician" from ancient Egypt and Alexander Pushkin's famous nineteenth-century story about the life of his African great-grandfather, "The Negro of Peter the Great," this collection also includes a pantheon of greats from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including Chinua Achebe, Doris Lessing, Nadine Gordimer, J. M. Coetzee, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie, Lesley Nneka Arimah, and many more.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
